Mitchell Starc has revealed that an ankle injury was the major reason for him missing the Champions Trophy but that "personal views" also played a part in him withdrawing from the tournament.

Mitchell Starc revealed that he will feature for Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final against South Africa in England.
